Trying to get away from Horta but the winds are now saying stay , 2 knots for next few days so may have to waste our fuel for three days and then just hope the uk weather is going to be good for us . Wind Wise.  Had a lovely few days and seen a bit of the island. fantastic restaurants with great food last night . fantastic food the night before at the Atlantica where we had T bone stakes and large beers , wine, and starter and desert for about 20Euros . The area of Pims is very lovely with bars of locals and good food . fantastic views and protected from any wind . Food shopping done , repairs done (besides 1job ) and we are ready to go .

Simon is off on a quick tour of the islands farms and should be back about 11 . we hope to be off to the fuel berth and then away we go .

Until next time
